Part Four: Waiting for Tonight


Notes

Waiting for Tonight is the property of Jennifer Lopez.


Like a movie scene in the sweetest dreams
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips on my fingertips
I have to say is even better...

Zelgadis tightened his arm on Lina's waist, helping her keep her balance. "You sure that the fever is gone?" Lina grumbled. "I'm still really dizzy."

"I got rid of most of the immediate symptoms," he said. "But the fever needs to run its course."

"Of course," the fiery sorceress mumbled. "Great." She was about to let loose more when Zel placed a finger on her lips.

"Shh." He then replaced his finger with lips.

Then ever I thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of the sadness the tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life

Lina pulled back, gasping for air. "Um, what were we talking about again?"

Zel smiled, and filed this away for future reference. To shut Lina up quickly, kiss her. He stroked her cheek, and said, "The fact that we need to get to the next town and catch Amelia and Gourry."

A look in her eye told him that she didn't believe him, but she let it go. "Well then," she whispered huskily, "they'll have to wait."

He chuckled, and kissed her again.

Waiting for tonight (oh)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (oh)
I dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight (oh)

She broke the kiss, and smiled up at him. "What was that about Amelia and Gourry?"

Zel smoothed a lock of her red hair. "You mean the fact we have to find them at the next town?" he asked innocently.

Lina blew out an impatient breath. "You know what I mean."

The chimera smiled, and steadied her as she almost tipped over. "Yes, I do," he said. "And, unfortunately, we do need to get going."

Lina pouted cutely. "I was hoping you wouldn't say that."

Tender words you say
Take my breath away, love me now, leave me never
Found a secret place lost in your embrace
I want stay in this forever

They kept walking to the nearest town. Lina almost made it, but fainted at the outskirts of the town. Zel looked down at her, and smiled.

He picked her up smoothly, and held her close. I could hold her like this forever, Zelgadis realized. Despite her appetite, she's light.

When he had picked her up, Lina had semi-awakened. Her eyes fluttered open, and met Zel's worried blue ones. Then she realized she was in his arms yet again. I could get use to this, was all her fuzzy brain could come up with.

I think of the days when the sun use to set
On my empty heart all alone on my bed
Tossing and turning emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

Almost self-consciously, Lina leaned forward and kissed him. "Hey, Zel?" she muttered fuzzily. "Where's Am... Amel..."

"I don't know," he answered her unspoken question. "I don't see her or Gourry."

"Hmm." She snuggled into his arms, and allowed a small smile to play on her lips. Zelgadis looked around, and found the inn.

"I'm going to check us into an inn, alright?" he whispered to the sorceress. She nodded, and slipped back into much needed sleep.

Waiting for tonight (oh)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (oh)
I dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight (oh)

In their room, he laid the girl down on the bed, not wanting to stir her. Lina woke up anyway, and turned to Zel. "Morning, sleepy," he said teasingly. "And how are you?"

At this point, few things had registered in her brain: 1) She was lying in a soft bed. 2) The man (Well, chimera) she loved was right next to it. 3) This was a soft, big bed. 4) Stomach is threatening to implode if it doesn't get food.

Surprisingly enough, number four was the least important thing. Her pulse started racing as she looked up at her lover. "Zel?" Lina whispered, not knowing if what she was doing was right. "Please..." She grabbed his hand, and placed it on her lips. Then she moved it downward. "Touch me."

Gone are the days when the sun use to set
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on

Desire coursed through his veins. This is what he wanted. "Lina..." Zelgadis whispered, not sure if this is what was suppose to happen. "I..."

She silenced him with a kiss. "I've waited all my life for this," Lina murmured in his ear. "Please, Zel."

And he obliged. They forgot about Amelia and Gourry for an hour, lost in their own passions.

Waiting for tonight (oh)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (oh)
I dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight (Tonight... Tonight)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight (Tonight... Tonight)
I dreamed of the love for so long
Waiting for tonight (oh)
